Inglourious Basterds was a great film minus what you just mentioned. Sometimes the less, the better. It's like, we get it, you like to pay homage to other movies, but let's not "pause" the movie with the whole "oh hey, it's me Tarantino, look at me, I'm making a reference to another movie!" every time you want to do so.

I wanted to see Inglorious Basterds but still haven't yet. Need to get on it.

IMO Tarantino makes some of the most consistently entertaining films of the past two decades. I know many rip him for stealing/re-hashing. And those complaints are legitimate. And plenty of people just can't stand his personality (also legitimate). But none of that takes away from me enjoying the films themselves one bit.

That's my thing with Tarantino. I have seen ALL of this stuff before. He just dusts off Blaxploitation and 70's Drive-In and adds monotonous dialogue. Not that that's not the exact same thing I would do if I made movies - but I wouldn't expect to hailed as a cinematic genius for doing such.

Bollocks, Tarantino is a genius when it comes to dialogue, Inglourious Basterds alone had 3 of the best dialogues in film...the opening scene, the tavern scene and the strudel scene, I remember my palms were sweaty watching those scenes for the first time. If he wasn't so popular, you'd be praising the hell out of him lol.

The film Sylvester Stalone thinks killed his career. It was actually the best role he ever had. Amazing low budget movie. Takes place in a fictional NJ town just outside NYC. Most of the population are NYPD and there is shady stuff going on. Amazing cast who all took a big pay cut to work the film.
